A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Grand Traverse
Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians,
Michigan and Little Traverse Bay Bands
of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from
Mackinaw City in Cheboygan County,
MI. At an unknown date, the human
remains came into the possession of
Walter C. Wyman of Chicago, IL. In
1915, Mr. Wyman donated the human
remains to the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation, New York
City, NY. In 1956, the human remains
were transferred to Dr. Theodore
Kazamiroff, New York University
College of Dentistry. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on the cranial morphology of
the human remains, the individual is
identified as Native American.
Information associated with the human
remains identify them as ‘‘----- [illegible]
Saugema, Ottawa Tribe.’’ The Ottawa
are also known by the name Odawa.
‘‘Saugema’’ is an Odawa family name in
the Mackinaw area and variants are
recorded for the Little Traverse Bay
Bands of Odawa. Although a surname is
listed for the human remains, lineal
descendants could not be identified
because the specific identity of the
individual could not be determined.
The identification of a surname
indicates that the human remains date
to the Historic period.
The area of Mackinaw City
corresponds to the territory of the
Odawas after European contact. The
Odawa people entered the written
record in 1615, when the French
encountered them at the eastern shores
of Lake Huron on the Georgian Bay.
Soon after this, the Odawas left the
Lower Peninsula of Michigan because of
Iroquoian raids, but returned to
Michigan after the Iroquois were
repelled from the area by the Odawas
and other Great Lakes tribes in the mid–
1600s. By 1673, the Odawas had
established villages at the Straits of
Mackinac. One village was located at
Michilimackinac, in present-day
Mackinaw City. A letter dating to 1710
describes Odawa mortuary practices at
Michilimackinac that are consistent
with the physical condition of the
human remains. Odawa people have
remained in the Mackinaw area since
their return in the 17th century. In
addition, Odawa oral traditions identify
the Mackinac area as an area of
aboriginal occupation for many

generations prior to European contact,
and Mackinaw City is part of the
ancestral lands of the Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
Officials of the New York University
College of Dentistry have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10),
the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Officials of the New York University
College of Dentistry also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and the Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,
345 East 24th St, New York, NY 10010,
telephone (212) 998–9917, before June
1, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Little Traverse Bay Bands
of Odawa Indians, Michigan may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and
Chippewa Indians, Michigan and Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan that this notice has been
published.

Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the control of the Phoebe A.

This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
An assessment of the human remains,
catalogue records, and relevant
associated documents was made by the
Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of
Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of
Coast Salish speaking tribes, that
include Muckleshoot Indian Tribe of the
Muckleshoot Reservation, Washington;
Nisqually Indian Tribe of the Nisqually
Reservation, Washington; Port Gamble
Indian Community of the Port Gamble
Reservation, Washington; Puyallup
Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation,

Washington; Suquamish Indian Tribe of
the Port Madison Reservation;
Swinomish Indians of the Swinomish
Reservation, Washington; Tulalip Tribes
of the Tulalip Reservation, Washington;
and Upper Skagit Indian Tribe of
Washington.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual (Catalogue record 12–2671)
were removed from an unspecified
location in the Puget Sound region by
the University of California Medical
Department. In 1914, the human
remains were donated to the Phoebe A.
Hearst Museum of Anthropology by Dr.
J. V. Cook (Accession number 100DDD).
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Given the absence of associated
funerary objects, the antiquity of the
human remains is unknown. Puget
Sound is located in the aboriginal
territory of the Lushootseed-speakers of
the Southern Coast Salish people. In the
original museum ledger the human
remains are described as a ‘‘skull with
very flat head’’ with a comment stating
that the individual was ‘‘probably
Salish’’ (in parenthesis in the original
document). The morphology of the skull
shows clear signs of induced physical
modification that happened during the
life of the individual. The practice of
skull modification by strapping infants
(with the exception of slaves and the
very poor) to hard cradleboards was a
custom common to many Southern
Coast Salish people and documented in
